what's wrong here?

I don't understand why this code is incorrect...

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here

    for item in items:
        print(item) 

    if item == "STOP":
        break

Hi there, Jonathan! Well, there's a couple of things going on. Your print statement is inside of the for loop just as it should be. But your ìf statement is outside the for loop. Remember that everything inside the for loop will be indented inside of it. Also, you should be checking if the item is equal to "STOP" before printing. Otherwise, you will also print out "STOP".

Hope this helps, but let me know if you're still stuck! :sparkles:
